Wisconsin postcard poet sends news:

Hi Paul–

I’ll be giving a presentation at the U. of Wisconsin-Stout in celebration of Nat’l Poetry Month this coming Mon. Apr. 12 @ 7:00 pm CDT. I’ll be reading several postcard poems from last year, along with the photos, or in one case, collage, that I used. I’ll be reading other poems also. A fuller description is in the website article (see below) from the University of Wisconsin–Stout. My portion will be virtual. There will be some actual people in an auditorium, but the event also will be  virtual. It’s my understanding that if people attend my reading, they can stay for the poetry workshop that follows if they want to, or they may exit.

I’m wondering if this can be posted on the PoPo FB page since I’m reading some postcard poems?

Hope all goes well for you,

Karen

Reflection on Poetry Postcard Trees (& Photos!)

We need to learn from Fujitaro and see the gardens that can grow from our wastelands, from the Pacific trash heap to the City of Seattle dump to the logged former forestland to the filled in estuaries of rivers like the Duwamish that make the Port of Seattle or Marshlands that make Baltimore’s inner harbor to the sprawl of LA and suburbs around all cities in this country to the merciless businesses of insurance and pharmaceuticals and lobbying and media (social, in particular) and AI and bottled water and so on.

Postcards from Chaos

Writing poetry in a time of crisis, Ukraine, postcards.”War tries to destroy culture because culture sustains identity and memory. Literature is not only a victim of war, it is an instrument of survival, resistance, witnessing – and, sometimes, welcome refuge…”
